Mediation Bill to be gazetted

"The Mediation Bill, which seeks to establish a proper legislative framework for conducting mediation without hampering the flexibility of the mediation process and to assist in the promotion of the more extensive and effective use of mediation in Hong Kong, will be gazetted on November 18 and tabled at the Legislative Council on November 30.

The Department of Justice said mediation is a structured process in which a mediator, without adjudicating a dispute, assists the parties to the dispute to identify the issue in dispute, explore options and communicate with one another with a view to reaching a resolution."
